Protecode Incorporated focuses on software component management and software Intellectual Property (IP) determination and protection. Protecode product dynamically detects, logs and identifies external content (bits & pieces, files, libraries) that enter a software project.  Protecode establishes Intellectual Property (IP) ownership and software pedigree, and creates a Bill-of-Materials of software components in a project.

Protecode's goal is to accelerate adoption of open source software by developing tools that
- allow open source developers to publish pedigreed projects and development records, and
- permit developers detect, log, identify and effectively manage open source and other third party content in their projects.
